Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Board of Health has been awarded a grant from the Ohio Department of Health. This ordinance is needed to accept and appropriate $883,568 in grant money to fund the HIV Prevention grant program, for the period January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2004.

The HIV Prevention program enables the Columbus Health Department to provide culturally and linguistically appropriate HIV counseling and testing/referral; partner counseling; and health education/risk reduction behavior modification programs. Services are provided to residents of Columbus and Franklin County, with special emphasis on men who have sex with men, individuals with high risk sexual contact, youth and injection drug/substance users.

This ordinance is submitted as an emergency so as to allow the financial transaction to be posted in the City's accounting system as soon as possible. Up to date financial posting promotes accurate accounting and financial management.

FISCAL IMPACT: The HIV Prevention Program is entirely funded by the Ohio Department of Health and does not generate revenue or require a City match.
